The inquest on the body of Elizabeth Stride, who was found butchered in Berners-street, Whitechapel, was resumed on Tuesday.

The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown.

A FEMALE "JACK THE RIPPER." - Maria Coroner, employed at a drapery shop in Bradford has been arrested for writing letters purporting to come from "Jack the Ripper" to the Chief-constable. In her boxes were found pieces of writing referring to Jackson, the Manchester murderer, and a card of Berry, the hangman. She was charged at the police-court and remanded. On Tuesday morning Coroner was bought up before the Bradford magistrates for writing letters under the signature of "Jack the Ripper." A dense crowd fought for admission to the court. The prisoner listened to the proceedings with an amused expression. After an interesting legal argument as to whether she had committed a breach of the peace, she was bound over for six months in £20, being told that if she again transgressed she would go to gaol.
